A video grab of UFC heavyweight Alistair Overeem is making the rounds and has quickly captured the attention of fans. Chiefly, Overeem can be seen enjoying what is presumably a scrumptious meal in the company of many UFC athletes. The difference-maker in this seemingly mundane video is the fact that the other athletes are in the middle of cutting weight.
UFC lightweight stand-out Islam Makhachev could be seen staring listlessly at ‘The Reem’ as he devours his meal. Makhachev who cuts plenty of weight to meet the 155-pound limit was jealous of Overeem’s nutrition plan, to say the least. As a heavyweight, ‘The Demolition Man’ just needs to make sure he comes in under the 265-pound limit.
